: An integrated tool lets players build objects using a database of over 1,000 materials , each with unique properties like mass, stiffness, and heat capacity. Floating Sandbox

: Beyond basic buoyancy, the engine incorporates thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and basic electrotechnics. Floating-Sandbox/Guides/How to Build a Ship

is a highly detailed 2D physics-based simulation game that allows users to create, interact with, and ultimately destroy various floating objects—most notably ships. Developed by Gabriele Giuseppini, it is prized for its realistic portrayal of material stress, flooding, and sinking mechanics. Core Mechanics and Physics Developed by Gabriele Giuseppini, it is prized for

: Ships can be authored using simple .png image files in editors like MS Paint, allowing for highly detailed custom creations.

The game operates on a sophisticated particle system using mass-spring networks to simulate rigid bodies. Unlike scripted animations, every sinking event is unique and driven by real-time calculations.
